Spammer Bingo
Please choose your argument if I reverted your spam.
1. This is a new and exciting product or service and the community needs to know about it. Response: You should consider an advertising budget. I have little confidence in a product or service whose business strategy is predicated on free Misplaced Pages advertising.
2. There are other commercial links on the page, what do you have against mine? Response: Its still spam. If there are other commercial links on the page, delete them. But if you put your link back, I am deleting it.
3. Anyone reverting my links must be a shill for my competitor. Response: Yes that's it. Based on all the spam reversions I do, I am actually on the payroll of over 5,000 organizations worldwide. My total income generated from this job is over $10 million a year. So you should consider doing what I do rather than spamming for your piddling little product.
4. This isn't advertising, its knowledge. How is knowledge spam? Response: If it was really knowledge, you would have entered some of that knowledge into the article. Clearly your aim is not education, but making sure that your link is seen.
5. I have a right to be on Misplaced Pages. Response: You are permitted to do many things on Misplaced Pages to make it better. You are generally not allowed to advertise. Further about rights, I am only aware of the United States Constitution and Misplaced Pages spamming isn't really mentioned. If you can point to the relevant passage in your home country's constitution or declaration of human rights, then I shall allow you to spam.
6. I concede the link is commercial, but it has some content so it should stay. Response: You may find this to be a surprise, but I do give consideration to these circumstances and review the material on the link to make a decision. Before you come crying to me, consider these things. Does your content consist of two paragraphs which are more or less a basic definition or description? Does your content discuss why your particular brand is superior in the context of discussing the subject? Is your content already in the article and written by a non-commercial source? If your answer is yes, I will probably revert you. If it is no, let's discuss. If you come here and use reasons 1-5 as your main argument, you are wearing away any benefit of the doubt that I was willing to concede.
7. Why are you being so mean? Response: Because it feels so good.
